Warsaw, the capital of Poland, offers a unique lifestyle and culture different from other European countries. This makes it a popular destination for international students looking for a new experience. Arriving alone in a new city can be overwhelming, which is why many young people choose to live in shared flats. This way, you have company from the moment you arrive and, often, the chance to have roommates from around the world. It’s a great opportunity to learn about different cultures while sharing your own.

| Residence Warsaw | 3 | €733 |
| Studio Warsaw | 64 | €745 |
| Entire place Warsaw | 1,042 | €1,454 |
Living in a shared apartment in Warsaw is very common, but it's important to know the pros and cons to make the right decision.
To make your exchange process smoother, use the available Erasmus+ apps. The European Commission app is particularly useful. It allows you to request new mobility programmes, manage different procedures, view your Learning Agreement, and read tips on life in the city, among other essential aspects for your exchange.
Apart from connecting with your flatmates, here are some ways to meet people in Warsaw:
The Erasmus Student Network (ESN) has branches in most universities in Warsaw. ESN volunteers organise affordable activities, events, workshops, and excursions for students, making it a great way to meet other young people in the Polish capital. They also host events that bring together students from different universities, giving you more opportunity to meet students from other schools.
Facebook groups help exchange students meet others in the same situation and stay informed about activities in the city. You’ll find several groups created by ESN, divided by academic year, making it easier to connect with peers who will be in Warsaw at the same time.
WhatsApp groups allow students to stay in direct contact, quickly organise plans, and find out about current events in the city.
Keep these tips in mind when living in a shared flat in the Polish capital:
Renting an apartment with more than two rooms usually starts at €450 per month, not including expenses, which are divided among all roommates. If you prefer to rent a spare room in an already inhabited flat, expect to pay around €250 per month.
Use the Erasmus Play search engine to find both rooms and full apartments for several people. Compare the available accommodations and make the reservation completely online and safely when you find the ideal one for you.
In Warsaw, you can join many student associations, as well as various Facebook and WhatsApp groups. Sharing a flat is also a great way to meet people and ensure you’re not alone when you arrive in the city.
Sharing a flat helps you save on rent, which allows you to have more money for activities and trips, enhancing your experience. Plus, your roommates will likely become some of your closest people to you during your exchange.
Some important questions to ask your potential flatmates include: Do they like to party a lot, or are they quieter? Do they listen to loud music or play an instrument? Do they regularly organise gatherings in the apartment? Is smoking allowed inside? Think about what aspects are important to you.
